Annature is an Australian-built electronic signature and identity verification platform designed for businesses that want a locally hosted, compliance-ready alternative to global e-signature providers. The platform operates on a pay-as-you-go model with no lock-in contracts — organisations pay a flat rate per envelope regardless of how many signers or documents are included. Beyond e-signature, Annature integrates identity verification (KYC) and AML/CTF screening directly into the document signing workflow — making it particularly relevant for accounting, legal, and financial services firms with regulatory verification obligations. Electronic signatures executed through Annature are legally valid under the Australian Electronic Transactions Act 1999.

■ Key Features

• Pay-as-you-go e-signature: No subscriptions, expiry dates, or lock-in contracts — one flat rate per envelope, with no cap on the number of signers or documents per envelope, and no per-user or per-seat fees.

• Identity verification (KYC): The core identity check complies with Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) and ATO identity verification guidelines — enabling accounting and legal professionals to verify client identity within the same signing workflow.

• AML/CTF screening: AML and CTF (Counter-Terrorism Financing) screening is available as an add-on, designed to meet anti-money laundering obligations under Australia's Tranche 2 reforms — relevant for legal, accounting, and financial services firms subject to AML/CTF compliance requirements.

• Blockchain-verified audit trail: Annature leverages blockchain technology to deliver a cryptographically verifiable audit trail for all digital signatures, providing tamper-evident certificates of completion for each signed document.

• Unlimited users & custom branding: All plans include unlimited team members at no extra cost, with custom domain branding available to reinforce trust with clients throughout the signing experience.

■ Who It's Best Suited For

• Australian accounting, legal, and financial services firms that need e-signature combined with ATO/TPB-compliant identity verification and AML/CTF screening in a single workflow

• SMEs and professional services businesses looking for a locally hosted, pay-as-you-go e-signature solution without annual subscription commitments or per-user fees

• Organisations switching from global e-signature providers that want Australian data residency, local support, and comparable functionality at a lower cost per envelope
